Gawping at eunuch.org was one of those poisonous pleasures of the early internet, spread by jump-lists of crazy sites, many of them spurious. SW Rodents, for instance was said to be a site for sex with rats. It was a supplier of dead rodents for feeding to whatever eats dead rodents. However, the fact the rats were killed by "cervical dislocation" i.e. broken necks was all the evidence it took to decide that South West Rodents were shagging rats to death and then selling them, in the ultimate win-win of perversity!
Back at eunuch.org, look away now . . .
I think I was more horrified by the sight of a bloke taking out one of his testes, skinning it and replacing in his ball-sack than I was by the castrations themselves. These, I should say, were photo sets: videos and even single images took ages to download, in those dial-up days. There was room for fakery, of course but where there are punters up for it, why bother!
It attracted a lot of traffic, most of them drive-by rta gawpers, myself among them.
Anyhow, returning to the Eunuch-Maker, I find myself wondering if he poses much of a danger to the community at large. Possibly the under-age charges justify the massive jail-term, though youngsters seem to have been marginal to his interests.
He was not afraid to undergo the same procedures himself, so I think the popularity of his services suggest a subterranean subculture, more than an evil mutilator. Did he prey on the weak-minded? Possibly. If there are life-sentences for that, an awful lot of people should be serving them.
Mostly, he has been shafted* by his own strange community, who consented to this shit, then turned on him. Consent to these things has been an issue, at least since the case of a bunch of S & M freaks in Bolton came to court in the late eighties. They were
only nailing their bits to wood, iirc.
Time to remind ourselves of 'Operation Spanner'
Skim-reading it, for now, it seems the maximum sentence applied then was four and a half years.
The big difference seems to be that the Eunuch Maker's subjects have claimed victim status. No one did in the earlier case.
